簡單自製護色絲滑洗髮精 | DIY Easy Silky Shampoo

髮妝相關: 

This is “the best shampoo” I’ve ever made, according to my husband. As far as hair product goes, I do think my DIY Cleansing Conditioner with Q10 is superior. Nonetheless, I enjoy the simplicity of this shampoo recipe as it requires no thickener, has a crystal clear appearance and is super simple to make.

The magic lies with the Ecocert Sodium polyoxyethylene Lauryl Ether Sulfate SLES I found at a local supplier which is a thick paste. I use it as one of the main surfactant along with coco betaine and decyl glucocide to create a wonderful yet gentle lather. Both polyquaternium-7 and centrimonium chloride are used for the slip and silky effect. Although the amount added would only prevent my long highlighted tress from tangling, but not so much that it feels forever slippery and unable to rinse off - which I dislike in some commercial shampoo.

I’ve added minimal amount of water to create a slightly thicker consistency. Ever since I’ve tried the Olaplex No 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo in my Olaplex All Products Full Review, I’ve been admiring the concentrated concoction. I find it ingenious and eco-friendly for the company to do so, as it requires less bottling plastic and creates less carbon footprint during shipping. I think It should be made mandatory for cosmetic companies to stop liquid down products when it’s not necessary, especially with all the online shopping since the pandemic. As a result, of course, I use less amount to wash my hair - about a quarter vs a quarter and a half with other shampoo.

I use a small whisk to mix the surfactants, the cationic conditioning agents and the water together by hand, to avoid excessive foaming. The solution would appear a little milky at first, and the SLES has a very faint smell that’s not the most pleasant. I’d mix until the SLES is dispersed to create a harmonious consistency, and mix in the essential oil (which can easily mask the smell of SLES), then broad spectrum preservatives. I’d give it a good mix again. The shampoo would still look milky. I’d bottle it up anyway, and let it sit for about a day to fully incorporate and to clear up before use.
